    Hello and Welcome! I to am new. This is such a large site it can be tricky to find your place, however, it is worth the effort. My personal suggestion is that you be your own critic. I know I need a lot of work, but I work on one thing at a time. I am trying an airbrush now. I also find the act of building a model quite cathartic. A time to turn off “outside problems” and take pride in being successful at one thing you can have complete control over. I look forward to seeing your work, and your technique, and hope you have an enjoyable time modeling. FokkerD7

    Hello, I have found this site late. I am an amateur builder. I had not built anything since the late 60’s (1960 in case you don’t recognize the abbreviated date) I was building plastic kits and trying to understand glue control and painting before a long pause. My CG insisted I do something with my time. She is now regretting getting me started as I am fast running out of room. This is the fourth 1/16 scale aircraft I am working on. I am doing a poor job of recreating the bamboo look. That aside I am trying to understand the installation of the control wheel attached to the port side of the cockpit (?) there is a hole in the control wheel base and the instructions show the control line passing through the hole.But if I glue the piece in place then I would have to drill through a fuselage rod which doesn’t make sense. Am I installing this wrong? Thank you for any assistance.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
